How to Get a Lotion Stain Out of a Dress

Facial and body lotion is a necessity when combating dry skin. Oils and emollients in lotion prevent skin from becoming dry and irritated, but don't do your dress any favors. Oily lotion that absorbs into your dress material can cause discoloration, and act as a dirt magnet. You must remove the lotion stain completely before drying your dress to avoid a permanent stain. With the use of effective supplies and stain removal techniques, you can successfully get a lotion stain out of your dress, and have your dress looking fashion forward, instead of like a fashion disaster.
